If you have good before and after photos, we will buy them from you for up to $1000 per set. In particular we are looking for pictures of Fitz IV,V, and VI patients to use in our marketing efforts outside the United States. For example, pictures that a Japanese customer would look at and think: that patient is Japanese, or a picture a Filipino customer would think: that patient looks Filipino. The patient has to sign the consent, the pictures have to be good, and you have to give us the settings. If you want help setting up a good photo space, let me know. Download the PDF form here (or on ScitonPro.com)

There are a set of online training videos that cover the basics - they’re good for a refresher, or an an overview for a new employee. For the latter, view these as laying the groundwork for the official inservice. They are currently free. To watch them, you will need to log in to ScitonPro.com as described above. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click on “Training Videos”. This will take you to Vimeo’s web page. Under payment information enter “Training2019” (note the capital T). Enjoy!

New You Medical Training is the best training you can get, short of going back and doing another residency program. When my wife and I set up our practice, we took just about every paid course available, and Dr. McQuillan’s were by far the best. They’re expensive (in both money and time) but worth it if you want to be more than merely competent. They are working on a new website, but you can see their course listing and schedule by clicking here .

Sciton holds two user summits per year in the USA. They’re a fantastic opportunity to learn the lastest techniques and get business tips. Usually we have 200-300 attendees, making it the largest aesthetic device user meeting in the world! I recommend going once every two years. We also have a User Summit in Europe during the summer for those who like to boondoggle. Link here

Another great conference. MOA is held every August in Southern California. There is a lot of overlap between MOA and controversies, but I would recommend going to one or the other every year. Link here.

GoodRX is a price comparison tool for prescriptions. When you’re writing a prescription, check the pricing on goodrx with the patient before deciding where you want it called in. They’ll have to print a coupon out to take in with you, but they’ll save a ton of money. Link here

Buffalo Filter makes smoke evacuators. You will need extra filters, which you can buy directly from them. You want the ViroSafe® Extra Long Life Filter, which has both 7/8 and 1 1/4” ports. They are sold in packs of 2 or 4; the part numbers are VSXLL02 or VSXLL04. Link here

If you want to do periocular resurfacing, either with Halo, ProFractional, or TRL, you will need metal intraocular eye shields. The standard ones that most people use are the Cox II made by Oculoplastik in Montreal. The easiest place to get them in the USA, that I have found, is from Ambler Surgical.

Need a BBLs cart? Here are some options. Let me know if you find more. And check the dimensions! Sometimes they change.
Nice Medical Cart on Amazon (Medium price, looks great, no drawers)
Sam’s Club (Inexpensive, will last 5 years)
Lista Cabinets (Very expensive, will last 500 years)

This is not a substitute for the Buffalo Filter smoke evacuator above, but if you want extra air purification above and beyond what you can get our of your HVAC system, the best I’ve found is the Airpura V614. You need to get the ULPA upgrade, which filters down to 0.1u instead of the standard 0.3u. Still comes in under $1000. Here is a good source, call and ask for Roy: Link here And remember, this is not an OSHA certified product. This is to catch the things your smoke evacuator and HVAC system miss.

Paul Finch at Benchmark Solutions is a great resource. Essentially, he acts as a CFO-for-hire if you need help structuring a transaction, like a big buildout or practice expansion where you need money from a bank. Essentially you pay him to create the business plan that the banks will need to justify a loan to you. If you have a better business plan and justifications, banks will lend you more money, at a lower rate, and for a longer term than if they are just “winging it”. He can also structure the sale of your practice, or the addition of a new physician into a partmership structure. Link here

“Long-Term Assessment of Perioral Rhytide Correction with Erbium:YAG Laser Resurfacing” by Samniec, Afrooz, and Burns is the best available resource for aggressive resurface technique using the Sciton.
